14 4. Existence results Main assumptions on E and D: E(t, ϕ, P, p) Ω W( ϕp 1 )+H(P, p)+u(p, p, P, p)dx l(t), ϕ D(P 0, p 0, P 1, p 1 ) = Ω D(P 0, p 0, P 1, p 1 )dx (A1) Lower semicontinuity: W : R d d R is polyconvex and lsc H : SL(d) R m R is lsc U continuous and U(P, p,, ) is convex D : (SL(d) R m ) (SL(d) R m ) [0, ] lsc (A2) Coercivity: W (F el ) c F el q F C H(P, p) + D(I, p, P, p) c ( P q P+ P 1 q P+ p r ) p C U(P, p, P, p) c ( P r P+ p r ) p C A. Mielke Pisa, 17 Nov. 2007, Rate-Indep., Homogenization and Multiscaling 14/24

15 4. Existence results Proposition. Let (A1) and (A2) hold with d q P + 1 q F < 1 and r p, r P > 1. Define q ϕ via 1 q ϕ = 1 q P + 1 q F and assume q ϕ > d and l C 1( [0, T],(W 1,q ϕ (Ω; R d )) ). Consider F W 1,q ϕ (Ω; R d ) and Z ( W 1,r P(Ω; R d d ) L q P(Ω; SL(d)) ) W 1,r p (Ω; R m ) equipped with the weak topologies, respectively. Then, D is weakly lower semicontinuous on Z Z E(t, ) has weakly compact sublevels in [0, T] F Z ( coercivity and lower semicontinuity) Lower semicontinuity ϕ k ϕ in L q ϕ and P k P in L q P = minors converge: M s ( ϕ k P 1 k ) M s( ϕp 1 ) in L q s A.

16 4. Existence results Existence via the Incremental Minimization Problem (IP): Partitions 0 = t0 N < tn 1 < < tn K N 1 < tn K N = T (ϕ N k, zn k ) Arg Min{ E(tk N, ϕ, z) + D(zN k 1, z) ϕ F, z Z }. Piecewise constant interpolants (ϕ N, z N ) : [0, T] F Z. Limit passage needs the Joint Recovery Condition If (ϕ n, z n ) stable at t n, (t n,ϕ n, z n ) (t,ϕ, z), E(t n,ϕ n, z n ) C and ( ϕ, ẑ) F Z, then there exists ( ϕ n, ẑ n ) such that lim sup E(t n, ϕ n, ẑ n ) + D(z n, ẑ n ) E(t n,ϕ n, z n ) n E(t, ϕ, ẑ) + D(z, ẑ) E(t,ϕ, z) Easy to satisfy, if D is weakly continuous: ẑ n = ẑ A.

17 4. Existence results Existence Result [Mainik/M. 07] Assume (A1), (A2) and that either (i) or (ii) holds: (i) D : (SL(d) R m ) (SL(d) R m ) [0, ) is continuous and D(P 0, p 0, P 1, z 1 ) C ( P 0 q P+ P 1 q P+ p 0 r p + p 1 r p ) (ii) r P, r p > d and for each (P 0, p 0 ) the set {(P 1, p 1 ) D(P 0, p 0, P 1, p 1 ) < } has nonempty interior. Then, for each stable initial state (ϕ 0, z 0 ) with D(I, p, z 0 ) < there exists an energetic solution (ϕ, z) : [0, T] F Z. Case (i) applies for kinematic hardening (no p needed) Case (ii) is needed for isotropic hardening, i.e., p R: H(P, p) = exp(κp), D(I, p 0, P, p 1 ) = { p1 p 0 for p 1 p 0 log(p T P) else A.

19 5. Time-dependent boundary data Essential idea in Francfort/M using Francfort, Dal Maso, Toader 2005 and Ball 2002 Dirchlet data ϕ(t, x) = ϕ Dir (t, x) for (t, x) [0, T] Γ Dir. Usual additive ansatz: ϕ(t, ) = ϕ Dir (t, ) + ψ(t, ) with ψ(t) F = {ψ W 1,q ϕ (Ω; R d ) ψ ΓDir = 0 } E(t,ψ, z) = E(t,ϕ Dir (t)+ψ, z) Power of external loading (now including power of ϕ Dir ) t E(t,ψ, z) = Ω F W (( ϕ Dir (t)+ ψ)p 1 ): ( ϕ }{{} Dir P 1) }{{} 1 st Piola-Kirchhoff tensor.t L q (Ω) dx l(t),ψ In general we cannot expect T L q (Ω), not even L 1 (Ω) A. Mielke Pisa, 17 Nov. 2007, Rate-Indep., Homogenization and Multiscaling 19/24

20 5. Time-dependent boundary data Way out? Matrices are elements of Lie groups: Multiply!! Extend ϕ Dir to all of R d, namely g Dir C 2 ([0, T] R d ; R d ) such that g Dir,( g Dir ) 1 L ([0, T] R d ; R d d ) ϕ(t, x) = g Dir (t,ψ(t, x)) with ψ(t) F = {ψ W 1,q ϕ (Ω; R d ) ψ ΓDir = id ΓDir } Chain rule replaces linearity: x ϕ(t, x) = y g Dir (t,ψ(t, x)) x ψ(t, x) Ẽ(t,ψ, z) = E(t, g Dir (t, ) ψ, z) Power of external loading t Ẽ(t,ψ, z) = Ω F W ( g Dir (t,ψ) ψp 1 ): ( ġ Dir (t,ψ) ψp 1) dx A. Mielke Pisa, 17 Nov. 2007, Rate-Indep., Homogenization and Multiscaling 20/24

Time-dependent boundary data t Ẽ(t,ψ, z) = = Ω Ω F W ( g }{{ Dir ψ P 1 ): ( ġ }}{{} Dir ψp 1) dx }{{} G F H F W (GFP 1 )(GFP 1 ) T : ( HFP 1 (GFP 1 ) 1) }{{}}{{} Kirchhoff K(GFP 1 ) V:=HG 1 dx V L ([0, T] Ω; R d d ) independently of ψ : [0, T] F Multiplicative stress control (Baumann,Phillips,Owen 91, Ball 02) Kirchhoff tensor K(F) := F W (F)F T c 0, c 1 F GL + (d) + (R d ) : K(F) c 1 ( W (F)+c0 ) A. Mielke Pisa, 17 Nov. 2007, Rate-Indep., Homogenization and Multiscaling 21/24

22 5. Time-dependent boundary data Multiplicative stress control is compatible with finite-strain polyconvexity: W (F) = α F q + β (det F) γ T(F) = αq F q 2 F K = TF T = αq F q 2 FF T βγ (det F) γ+1 cof F (not bounded by W ) βγ (det F) γ I Hence, K(F) maxα,β dw (F). (as (cof F) F T = (det F)I) Corollary: There exist c0 E, ce 1 such that t Ẽ(t,ψ, z) c1 E (Ẽ(t,ψ, ) z) + c E 0 whenever the right-hande side is finite. Provides useful a priori energetic estimates needs of course sufficient hardening Alber s group: Self-controling property A.

23 Conclusion Using full regularization and strong coercivity the existence of energetic solutions can be shown for many plasticity models. Future tasks: Study formation of microstructure for vanishing regularization: U(z, z) = ε z r with ε 0 Study failure via localization for vanishing strong coercivity H(P, p) = p 2 + ε exp(κ p ) for ε 0 deformation gradients ϕ ε behaves badly, but energy densities and stresses have suitable limits (cf. [Bouchitté/M/Roubíček 07]) Replace global minimization by local minimization in (IP) viscous approximations A. Mielke Pisa, 17 Nov. 2007, Rate-Indep., Homogenization and Multiscaling 23/24
